Researchers at the Medical Center NYU Langone presented at the last annual conference of the AAOS (American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons) a study on the irradiation-related examinations of the musculoskeletal system, comparing, in particular, the radiation exposure of pediatric patients with the EOS system imaging and with conventional radiography. The study has shown that a standard review 2D/3D spine with the EOS system imaging uses 60% of radiation than the conventional x-ray. The importance of the reduction of the radiation exposure associated with imaging examinations has been underscored by new data on mortality and genetic effects radiation-induced observed in patients suffering from scoliosis and have received a significant number of imaging examinations in the course of their treatment.
